Woah. Count me in for at least the Monsters and Madmen set! Anyone find anymore discounted titles? I'm actually kind of glad only a few really interest me.

Couldn't help it. I added Jigoku to the order. I really enjoyed that film.

Couldn't resist Green for Danger. Nothing else on my CC wishlist was reduced (actually a good thing). Thanks OP!

Thanks! I'm a little cautious as to whether these will go through, but nothing to lose. If anyone's looking for recommendations and likes films of the 1940s, you can't go wrong with A Canterbury Tale.

Thanks! I got Flowers of St. Francis, When A Woman Ascends the Stairs, A Canterbury Tale, and Green For Danger,

At these prices, give Border Radio a chance, same with Equinox, and Jigoku.
An Angel At My Table is very good too.

Count me in for An Angel at My Table, A Canterbury Tale, Monsters And Madmen, and When a Woman Ascends the Stairs. I would have got Green for Danger if I already didn't own it.

while these are certainly huge discounts for criterion dvds (65% off), are these good blind buys?

i am looking them up on imdb.com and many of them have very low ratings...

thanks in advance

Same concern here plus Amazon's Revovery program might come into the picture

Thanks a lot OP for posting this.

Does anyone have a complete list of discounted Criterions, and does anyone know how long this deal lasts?

Looks more of a Price Mistake than a deal. I'm guessing it can lapse anytime.

I looked at all the Criterion discs in a search and didn't find any others with a signifcant discount from their regular prices (over 50% off). It seems all the bargains are listed in the previous posts.

Most likely a mistake (undoubtedly) but is likely to fly until they catch it. Since they are selling them for a reasonable sum, although definitely way below cost, I think that they will honor these purchases and ship them as scheduled. With that in mind I had to add Flowers Of St. Francis, Jigoku, A Canterbury Tale and When A Woman Ascends...to my collection. Nice job OP.

How does an error like this even occur? I mean it's just on these random titles.
